KolaShangOne:This is the reason why the Architect's services does not end at the design stage. The Architect should be involved in all aspect of the building procurement processes. It may interest you to know that there are other additional services which the Architect should be engaged to carry out, such as EIA, Post occupancy evaluation etc. 1 Like |

KolaShangOne: Honestly! That makes two of us. Some are even without rhyme or reason. I just look at some designs and I keep asking myself; what is the STATEMENT the architect is trying to make? The aspects and accent are so busy and all over the place that one is just left bewildered. 2 Likes 1 Share |

KolaShangOne:You are not the only one, you should always ask it is necessary. that is why i always update my clients at each level, it always better you ask this questions during design stage than when the design have been fully done and submitted. For the materials, if you meant for finishing, that i believe shouldn't be a problem because it can always be substituted. |

BrickDevo: I agree that it is popularly perceived as a luxury but I also know that is not necessarily true, which is why I asked her to sell it to the middle class builder since this thread she’s advertising in does not necessarily cater to just luxury construction. The thread has middle class builders who may be interested in her service. 1 Like |

MulticolourDeco: 1. I am not a “Sir.” I am a female like you who noticed you were offering a service, pinpointed a common barrier/perception and asked you to elaborate on how you would address that barrier I.e. how you would convince a middle class builder who perceives your service as a luxury. 2. The bolded is really the only response needed to what I posted. I will forgive the other parts because I don’t know what your head space was like when you read my post which, by the way, highlighted my appreciation of the kind of work you; thereby making your response even more unreasonable. 3. English is not my first language and apparently not yours either so I have read my post again and you should too to see how your rude response relates to what I wrote. I thought the intent of my post was clear - give you the opportunity to convince a non luxury builder that you offer a service they should consider paying for. 14 Likes |

MMotimo:you are right, anyone can go for it, it depends on the level, i designed one for someone in this thread and am glad i did, i also strongly feel that can i afford it mentality or affordability is a major factor, and if it becomes so simple just to cater for the middle class, they might actually not engage her services, because they see it as no big deal. only few will pick a space of interest. Currently am negotiating with a client for a kitchen design, after a brief talk of what it would cost to design the whole building interior, 2 bedroom flat + 2 units of 1 bedroom self-contain upstairs, she decided only her kitchen will be needing the designs at least for now she said, She categorically stated the cost is much hence her decision.

MMotimo: Thank you Ma. It’s a labor of love and it helps because I live right next door. I use Baba Latis so I’m sure of screw ups as soon as I leave the site for a second. It’s sad that I’m already looking at corrections on a brand new build but I’m ahead in terms of cost. 3 Likes |

KolaShangOne:This one is normal. I was working on a Project on Friday.On the site Plan the distance between the External wall and the main building at the back is 1.03mm.In order to erect your water tank alone, For a 2000l water tank,the Internal diameter is 1.45mm.i was like how will that work? That's not all, I noticed more than 5 others mistakes on one drawing alone. Most Architects considers Aesthetics and not functionality of a building. Both should always be considered and when you raise the RFI for it ,you will have to go through a lot of hassle for it to be change. 2 Likes |

walexProjects: This gap has been bridged by BIM (building information modeling). BIM allows for multidisciplinary collaboration in real-time. All parties have access to all the information relating to a project in its current phase and are able to communicate with all other parties simultaneously via the building information model. The advantages of this process are centered around improved communication and coordination and include early detection or reduced risk of mistakes or discrepancies resulting in less rework, reduced costs and improved quality. Any architect, structural / mechanical or electrical engineer that has not embraced bim and the numerous advantage it brings is not ready for industry standard practice. 1 Like |

I cringed when I saw this on one of the site close to mine. This however is a honest appeal to all M and E guys, this is all shade of wrong and it will affect the structural integrity of the building. When in doubt, reach out to fellow professionals on the project. On every project site, communication needs to be in sync. 1 Like

Charisdesigns: One of the most Vital Design I employ when doing my job is, Never to pass a Pipe through a structural member. If at all you don't have where to locate it, It can easily be clipped. The M&E consultant on this Project just doesn't know what he/she is doing. 1 Like |

Charisdesigns: This is absolutely necessary. I recently got a Project from Ghana,one of the criteria for the Consultant is the Ability to use Revit MEP software. This enables us to Work effectively and deliver the project as at when due. BIM is the way forward now. |

There was never an M&E engineer involved in that project from the start. As a professional you should be able to look as a carcass and tell if it's being handled by professionals or just by the client with a couple of blind bricklayers and foremen. walexProjects: |

walexProjects:A young architect should always have someone who checks his drawings, you should have a mentor, even if it involves buying a wine and visit his office, also work hand in hand with your structural engineer, most times they see what is wrong and notify you. 3 Likes |

KolaShangOne: Well, I have seen plans and seen more plans. Sometimes in the middle of some projects, I reach out to my architect for meetings on what he was thinking when they hatched the plans. And the revelations are quite surprising sometimes. Choices of what to do to some designs will always need the input of everyone, architect, owners, structural engineers and contractor. This is the only way ensure that what was drawn matches what gets built. 1 Like |

Hello everyone, do submersible pump of any HP and product gets rusty inside the boreholes after a while or it's just fallacy, cuz if it does I better go for the usual surface pump |

amosblisz: There's no big deal about a submersible pump. They work well. Even that of .5hp provided the reservoir depth isn't too deep. Surface pump is old fashioned. |

dangoteinlaw: Well you're correct. Clients won't have choices like they have before. Because BIM is taking over the IIndustry. Just like we have Drawing board and Pencil before AutoCAD came in. |
